Healthy Oatmeal Apple Pancakes (Printable Recipe)

Hearty oat-based pancakes with apple and cinnamon. A warm, satisfying breakfast with simple ingredients.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 1 apple, grated
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
05 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
07 - 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
08 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
09 - 1 pinch salt
10 - Oil or butter for cooking

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Place the rolled oats in a blender or food processor and blend until a fine, flour-like texture is achieved.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
04 - Fold the grated apple into the wet mixture and stir to combine evenly.
05 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix until fully incorporated. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to thicken.
06 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake and cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
07 - Serve the pancakes warm with optional toppings such as maple syrup, apple slices, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Allowing the batter to rest enhances texture by letting the oats hydrate and thicken the mixture naturally.
02 - Grated apple adds natural sweetness and moisture, reducing the need for added sugar or oil.
